MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--APG Cash Drawer, LLC has been named as a finalist for a 2013 Innovator
Award in the category of Best Cash Innovation. One of five finalists in

Cash Drawer is being recognized as a leader in the payments
industry. Voting

“We are honored to be recognized as a finalist in the Best Cash
Innovation Category”

“We are honored to be recognized as a finalist in the Best Cash
Innovation Category,” stated Mark Olson, President of APG Cash Drawer.
“Retailers are looking for the latest technologies that can improve the
overall customer experience – mPOS or mobile POS is such a technology.
Our Wireless NetPRO® cash drawer is the 1st of its kind and it’s able to
communicate with any of today’s tablet based POS systems. Going mobile
doesn’t eliminate the cash transaction, it introduces security concerns.
NetPRO® cash drawers have the ability to help retailers solve these
issues through proximity claiming and alert features, which can activate
security cameras, time and date stamp security video recordings, and
broadcast alert messages to a store manager’s mobile devices.”
